Roller Coaster Challenge Day 11

Roller Coaster Challenge Day 11 – A roller coaster you really miss

Intimidator 305, Kings Dominion
This ride is crazy wicked awesome. It was just built in 2010, and I was lucky enough to ride it in its debut season (Thank you Chris R!). It’s 90ish mph fast and super smooth, yet it is still the most powerful and intense roller coaster I have ever ridden.
I started to black out a little on the turn between the first and second hill. I talked to a couple that rode it together, and the woman had no memory of riding it all. Pretty awesome, huh?

Everyone else in my group rode twice; I rode nine times. I very nearly pushed it to #1 on my top coasters list, but I stuck with Maverick's incredible variety.
How do I know I miss this ride? I bought an Intimidator 305 shot glass, and I dropped it when I was cleaning it. I cried. I really did. I miss you 305! Hope to see you soon!

Psalm 32: 1-11

In my version this Psalm is subtitled: Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God. When I thought about the woman who had no memory of the ride, it reminded me of how blessed we are when our transgressions are forgiven. Our sin is covered by the blood sacrifice of Jesus, and God “remembers” them no more. What a weight is off of us! We can be made right with God once we acknowledge our sin and receive His forgiveness.

P.S. A good friend knew of my distress when I dropped the souvenir, so he replaced it for me when he visited the park. Coincidentally, it was the exact version I had broken, though there were several variations of the glass in the gift shop to choose from. Thanks D.
